Isn't she too old to get bullied?

Let's say a single mother of a 17-year-old son met a man online who she let move in with her just one month later.  On top of that, he proposed to her.  This man told her that he's not just a lawyer, but also a college professor, who happens to teach at the same university as her best friend.  Eventually, she gets a phone call from the friend who had some unfortunate news: she found out that there's no professor by the name of the woman's "fiancé." So the woman realizes he's not who he says who he is, and hires a private investigator.  Then she eventually kicks him out.  Several years later (now), the woman can't stand her best friend because of the reckless political things she says on the phone, as well as on Facebook.  They still keep in touch, but the woman wishes she wouldn't call her.  Given that she might not be alive today, or possibly would've been on skid row because of the con artist who tried to swindle her, had it not been for her best friend who told her there's no professor by that name, is the woman being ungrateful?  

I want nothing to do with her and she's been ringing me off the hook for weeks now. Every time I block her number, she calls from a new one. Then texts me to tell me what a selfish horrible friend I am. I'm not her friend and I'm afraid to say anything because of how nuts she is. The last time I spoke to her or saw her, she was at my house two years ago pregnant, smoking and popping opiates. We're in two different universes. I have kids and the way she is with hers makes me sick to my stomach. Now the state took her poor children and she's stalking me. I'm going to change my number tomorrow. She's freaking me out. Can I call the police? The question is what should I do?

My husband and I moved across the country but I'm having a hard time finding friends. We are barely scraping by with our bills, so we don't go out often. I happened to meet one person I would say I'm becoming friends with, but I want to find more. What can I do? Any suggestions? Please help me!

My friend has stole things from me, he's salty, annoying, never accepts failiure, obsessed with money, he has 2 siblings that I hang out with too and his idea of sharing me is getting me all to himself (his siblings get nothing). I wanna stay friends with his siblings but not with him, every time I try to do anything remotely without him, I'm stopped by either him crying like a little baby, or my parents. He some other friends, but they're not really not his friends, because they barely see him, and they try to avoid him. WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!!!

Is it because I'm a fat yellow mouse?

I work in an office with 12 other women, mostly single girls and Bob, our computer support guy. Bob is a great guy and we all love him dearly. He is a good friend to all of us. In the employee break room, we talk about a lot of different things and sometimes we talk about sex. Like who is sleeping with who, what guy is hot or sexy. We would like Bob to join in our conversation but he told us he will not even acknowledge that people have sex because he is afraid of getting fired for sexual harassment. He very much enjoys hearing us talk however. We sometimes meet after work and them Bob will talk about his girlfriend, dating, and sex. Some of us are afraid we might be sexually harassing Bob. Can women sexually harass a man? It just does not seem fair that Bob can not talk to us about the same things we gals talk about. Do you think he is fearful for no reason? Is there a double standard in this area?

So i pretty much want to know why women commit such cheap and criminally oriented acts like having their own bathroom to **** in and yet walking right into the customers bathroom right after having full blown sexual intercourse with their colleague while at work and not using their own area to take a dump at but walking in on a paying customer while they are washing their hands after consuming their meal and trying to barge into a bathroom stall or trying to piss said customer off. I say this because I have been harassed by women a dozen times in the near past and obviously by now I am aware of the negativity that comes with woman on woman sex. Thanks

A friend who lives in FL is coming to NY for New Years Eve and staying at a hotel which is having a party. She asked if I wanted to join them (along with some others.) I called the hotel and found out that unless you buy the $350 "package" which means staying at the hotel that night, that you can't go. I live a mile from the hotel so staying there doesn't make sence and called my friend to explain that for $350 I could not afford the price. I also said how disapointed I was as I had been planning my oufit already, etc. and was so honored that she had asked me to join her, her husband and others. I figured she would be upset too but she shrugged it off like it was no big deal. To me it was a big deal but I acted cool about it. I am hurt she doesn't seem to care. What should I make of this?

Ike for thanksgiving I had a paper plates with watermelons on them, and his reaction was and I quote. If your gonna pull this prank make sure it a chicken not a turkey Nd at Christmas I'm sure he will get me back. Does this make us racists or just friends picking on each other And I know he would always have my back and if anyone was ever racist towards him I would have his He was my best man at my wedding, my god father to my kids and I am his. And we have been best friends since kindergarten, he was my next door neighbor growing up and I love him like a brother  I'm white by the way

My boyfriend and I have dated for almost a year. We sre in our mid-20s. Our relationship hit a rocky place a few months ago and we had to stop it, he was going through a very hard (mental) time and needed time to himself. Nothing bad happened with us, we have a great bond and relationship, he just needed time to get into a better place...  A month later he got back in contact with me and worked for us to get back together , doing all he could to work on everything he needed to work on. Such as communicating when something is going on or just expressing himself more when he is not doing okay.  We are back together. He is still in the toughest time in his life, although he has done better at improving himself and communication. It is taking work but, it's gotten better, slowly.  I have wonder though, WHY, in the worst time in his life would he even think about having a girlfriend? Or even want one back in his life when he already has so much stress on his plate? Not saying I don't want to be with him, I love him dearly. But why would he even want a girlfriend right now?  I thought maybe once we stopped dating he would stick with himself, especially with all the stress he has. Instead he wanted me back a month later. I would think, he would have just wanted himself to himself at that point.

What would be the reason for this? Im 22 male black. Never talked too a black person only white. Do they think im possibly extraterrestrial? Does anyone else go through this?

I made a new friend recently in a nearby city and she's old enough to be my grandmother. I still don't know a lot about what she likes. I'll be visiting her city soon and she kindly offered to let me stay at her place. I'd like to take her a gift as a token of gratitude. - is giving her a gift the right thing to do? - if yes, could you offer some suggestions? - if no, then could you let me know what I can do instead?

I can recall a time in high school when a girl said that if someone is alone and has no friends, then that's their faults because they either don't want any or aren't trying. It had opened my eyes to a completely different view point (I suppose I was rather naive). Whenever I saw someone with no friends I had always thought they were too shy as, due to my social anxiety, I have had a hard time making any friends at all myself. This is not to say there are no people out there who genuinely don't want any friends, but more so to acknowledge there are also many people who have a hard time making friends and I fear they may appear cold and closed off. As someone who was unable to make friends most of my life, I wanted to know how others perceive people like this. (I am understanding of every perspective! I completely get why someone would think this way and I don't see them as a bad person what so ever. Their intentions were never malicious.) 

A few years ago I found myself friends with the wrong people. The people who I was Friends with at that time, they were toxic. Always talking bad about others gossiping and I started to know there mutual friends. There mutual friends were just like them. Then one day I found myself doing the same thing they where doing. I was gossiping and being fake just like them. As I grew older and my mindset started to change I realized they weren't my friends. They where being manipulative and bullies and instigating. I took a look at myself one day in the mirror and I said to myself I needed to change. As you get older you start to change. Plus those people who I was friends with bullied me into depression and at one point I was suicidal. I was considering suicide a few years ago because of them and that's what changed me. I now see them for what they were and I thank them because I'm a lot stronger and more confident then I was before. My fake friends who bullied me told me I don't have any friends and I'm pathetic. Before I met them I never experienced friendship because social anxiety and depression. That saying you are who you surround yourself with is right. I was becoming like them and thank god they are no longer part of my life. My question is the saying'the realest people don't have many friends' do you believe in that? All I have is two best friends. Am I pathetic for only having two best friends? 

They think that ugly people should suffer. And fat people should be too. They think they are so better than you. And they think they should have the house and the car and you didn't work as hard as them.. Oh God is good, they would say. And they don't care about how other people feel. If everybody be happy and have everything as well.... Then...  there won't be any crime, jealousy and stuff like that. Right? Is this what life is should be like...? Some sad, some very happy.

Is it ok if I don't talk to my friends much anymore but I still care about them? And they care about me 

My "friend" and I have a shared Google account. This morning, I was going through some emails (with her consent) and found one about me. Here's the conversation between her and the person she was emailing. My "friend": 🙄 [Me] has her period. Again. And she has "cramps". Heck, in fourth grade she claimed she had cramps from her "growth spurt" Them: Ugh, she's so dramatic. Some context, I am short and rather skinny. Just because I'm petite doesn't mean I can't get my period early and have a short cycle. I am also nonbinary. This hurt. A lot. I can't confront her, though. What should I do?

My best friend got a phone for her 14th birthday. I feel happy for her and all, but I can t keep the tears back. I m 13, and my dad promised I d get a phone when I turned 13, but when I asked my dad, he moved it up to 15 because "Oh, the media says it s better.", and when I question this, he said, "You ve broken many promises before. No buts, you re waiting until you re 15." How do I contain the jealousy and survive unpopularity and technological neglect?

I am in my 30's, don't have my dream career, don't have kids, don't have a husband and I feel like time is running out. I see my friends happily in love married with kids, having great jobs and living the life. I had a best friend and I came to a point where I just stopped being a friend because I don't relate to her life. I had drop out of school due to financial and health reasons. And I can't find the man of my dream. I don't know if I'll be waiting forever for my love because I do travel a lot and do go out a lot just to see if my future husband is there. Even though I hate going out and I am a home body. I am anti social due to anxiety attacks. Anyways my friend's husband is working as a manager now at the housing place my family is in and I am like Why do I have to see this so called perfect couple everywhere even though I am not friends with her anymore, now her husband became a manager. And I just want to get away from these happily in love people. I am single and don't need a reminder.

I'm in a club at my University that revolves around cars. We use GroupMe to communicate and what not. However, tonight a debate about **** over *** broke out and it has made me and a few of the other females in it highly uncomfortable. I'm sorry, but please don't have that locker room chat in a public group chat with girls in it. I'm a conservative and almost always keep my mouth shut during situations like this, but before the whole me too movement broke out I was sexually assaulted. I don't think something has made me this upset before, was wondering if anyone had any good/ witty comebacks I could post in the chat just to make others aware that what they're doing isn't really okay... most of the kids in their are losers anyways that thing a modified Mini van is "cool". 

So my friend does not give me any space for myself whatsoever. She always calls me and we talk for hours at a time everyday. She either only talks to me, our other best friend, or her bf. And she's literally always on Snapchat. She says that she's bored and doesnt have nothing else to do. The problem is when she calls me, she talks for hours and I get bored with our conversations, how can I get her to stop wanting to call me so much.
